Only one dipterous miner, the agromyzid Ophiomyia melandricaulis, is recorded on Moehringia in Britain. See LYCHNIS. Elsewhere the agromyzid Amauromyza flavifrons and Ophiomyia melandricaulis and the drosophilid Scaptomyza graminum are recorded mining Moehringia. No non-dipterous miners are recorded on Moehringia in Britain. Elsewhere one British non-dipterous miner is recorded on Moehringia.
